Clinton's latest campaign reports, filed on July 15 with the Federal Election Commission, became public on July 28. Her second-quarter contributions totaled $6,108,413. Combined with interest and refunds, the campaign took in a total of $6,145,305 during the period. More than $5.8 million came from individuals65,691 in total. Those filings sprawl across hundreds of pages, so finding out exactly where her money came from in that round will take some time.
But her filings do show how broad her appeal has grown, as this politician from the bluest of states collects the greenest of dollars from, of all places, Texas. In fact, the heart of Bush country has ranked second this year only to New York in filling her coffers, contributing $458,874, from 456 contributors. Compare that to what she got from solidly Democratic California, which donated just $311,900, from 234 people.
Back home in New York, according to campaign reports, the senator has collected $1.7 million, from 1,020 supporters.
The Texas contribution list reveals a surprising gold mine for Clinton. Plenty of Austin liberals have embraced her, from Ann Richards, the former governor (who gave $1,000), to Luci Baines Johnson, the president's daughter (ditto). Clinton's base extends far beyond this progressive island to Houston, Dallas, and the Rio Grande Valley. A poor area along the Mexican border, the valley accounted for nearly half of all contributions, most of them at less than $1,000 a pop.
"Hillary has a mix of large and small contributors," says Garry Mauro, an Austin lobbyist who has helped her raise Texas money, and who spoke to the Voice while in D.C., fresh from meeting with her finance chairman. He add, "This tells you she has a broad base of support," more so than other out-of-state senators.
It may seem counterintuitive that the lioness of liberalism would have friends here. We are talking about the stomping ground of Karl Rove and George W. Bush, after all. The GOP dominates the political landscape, with Republicans holding all statewide offices, most of the state legislature, and most of the congressional seats, too. Just the mention of Clinton's name can whip up a frenzy among Texas GOPers. Case in point: Governor Rick Perry's campaign hired two men to film a March 3 event where she hugged then potential Perry rival Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. The videotape wound up in the e-mail boxes of local conservatives. Hutchison fired back with an old letter Perry had written praising the senator for her health care reform efforts.
The state's fire-engine-red atmosphere has left local Democrats out in the cold. That may explain why they have become such generous supporters of the national party. Texas happens to be a net exporter of political money, and leading Democrats go there to raise lots and lots of cash. Mauro says every senator up for re-election will make a stop in the state, knowing full well that Texas Democrats are looking to use their money to help somebody get elected. Still, there's something about Hillary Clinton that sets her apart. A Western senator may swing through Texas raising $20,000, Mauro notes, while she'll get $200,000. "See the difference?" he asks.
When Clinton walks into a room full of Texas Democrats, people tend to go nuts, bending over backward to contribute. Houston attorney Arthur Schechter, who hosted several dozen fundraisers last year, says the typical event involves a lot of arm-twisting. "You've got to get people on the phone and convince them to shell out money," he explains. But when it comes to Hillary, "you just put out the word and people want to be associated with her." People get angry if you don't invite them to the event.
The bulk of Clinton's Texas money so far has come from a 36-hour, four-city blitz that Mauro organized in March. He hosted one of her two Austin events at his home, drawing 500 people to a $100-a-ticket affair and raising approximately $70,000. Schechter held a Houston meet and greet, where 100 people wrote what he calls "substantial checks," yielding about $100,000.
Nobody raised more money for Clinton than banker and real estate tycoon Alonzo Cantu, from the town of McAllen. On March 22, he organized a $500-a-ticket luncheon that collected close to $220,000. That's especially impressive since McAllen sits in one of the poorest areas in the country.
Cantu says Clinton is "wildly popular" in the Rio Grande Valley, largely because of the issues for which she stands. People cannot forget the former first lady from her White House days, when she and husband Bill toured South Texas, showing an interest in the economically troubled region while most politicians had abandoned it. "A lot of people are excited about her and maybe her future," he says. "They feel she knows the valley, and if she got elected to higher office, she'd help us out."
Valley residents aren't the only Texas Democrats to view Clinton as a favorite for the 2008 presidential race. As Schechter puts it, "People in Texas who know Hillary love her. It's difficult to be around her and not understand why that would be so."

Sometimes God gives us wisdom to solve our own problems
You may find it hard to believe right now, but God is even more concerned about you and your problems than you are. This is why the Bible says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7).
It's often been said that God answers our prayers in one of three ways: Yes, no, and wait. There is much truth in this, because God knows our needs far better than we do. Sometimes, for example, we want him to do something for us, but our prayers are self-centered or thoughtless, and God says "No" because He knows our motives are wrong. Or sometimes God says, "Wait! Not yet!" — because he sees the whole picture, and he knows what's best for us, both now and in the future. And sometimes, of course, God says "Yes."
But I've discovered that God sometimes answers our prayers in a fourth way: By showing us how to solve the problem. In other words, sometimes we become the answer to our own prayers! We always want God to solve our problems instantly, but sometimes God wants us to deal with them on our own, as he gives us wisdom.
I don't know what problems you're facing right now, but God does and he wants to help you overcome them, because he loves you. Pray for wisdom seek advice from people you trust and then, little by little, do all you can to solve them. The Bible says, "I will go before you and will level the mountains" (Isaiah 45:2).

Japan's Middle East Policy since 9/11
July 25, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:15pm
Japan's policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, more broadly, on Middle East issues generally has been shaped by two key factors: Tokyo's quest for oil, and its awareness of the wider international diplomatic and political setting. Unfortunately for Japan, these two considerations have frequently pushed Japanese policy makers in opposite directions. Historically, Japan has preferred a low-key approach to the region. But in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Tokyo has faced increasing pressure to become more engaged--more specifically, to contribute to the U.S.-led war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Does Japan aspire to be a relevant player in the Middle East? Can it play such a role, if it wishes to do so? Wilson Center visiting scholar Yuka Uchida will discuss these and related issues as she explores the post-9/11 evolution of Japanese policy in the broader Middle East.

Four days in Vegas is just too long! Stayed at the Mirage. It was nice, although I did have problems with the lock on my door two different times. First time, got a $75 credit for food and drink. Second time, almost caused me to miss my flight. I sent a pretty stern email last night, I'll see if they do anything. Won some, lost some playing blackjack. Did craps for 10 minutes with friends, and lost right away. I seriously just hate that game, I never ever win. Sapphire strip club was okay. Some hot women, but geez, I'm not gonna give you another $100 for 3 songs just to have you .... well, never mind, not gonna get into it. Sports gambling sucked for me. Lost on Dallas, (I think everyone at the sportsbook did) and was just distraught over my Trojans. SOOOO bad. :( Overall though, great trip, lots of fun. Would like to go back soon, but need to start putting pennies away again.
Make post sticky on:
They should give you a deferred comp on your room the next time you stay there considering it wasn't the first time there was a mishap with your lock. I haven't been there in quite sometime but I stayed with Mirage back in '07 and overall was a good stay. No surprise most were on Dallas and USC. Still wondering why neither team's offensive line decided not to show up.
well atleast you remember your trip I went out about a month ago now and blacked out the last night I was there.
I blacked out Friday night! :) So, did some of that too buddy. JTG, yeah, I don't know. SC, loss of Kahled Holmes was just way bigger than anticipated. He's an All American, first round NFL pick this year. Calls out assignments at the line of scrimmage. There line was just lost and getting destroyed. Word is he's back this week, thankfully.

The MagazineIt's an unfair comparison. Roosevelt's reputation for imposing a liberal makeover on America is impossible to match. But Obama has tried. And in one significant way he's been successful. Like FDR, he's broadened the size and scope of the federal government. Should his health care and cap and trade bills pass, along with the authority to seize any financial institution whose collapse would be "a systemic risk" to the economy, Obama would put himself in FDR's class as a supersizer of Washington's power. He's not there yet. By following another Roosevelt example, Obama has bought trouble. FDR thought government spending would spur economic recovery. It didn't. And his surge in regulation and tax increases actually impeded economic growth and job creation. So, too, with Obama. Same policies, same result. Yet he appears puzzled why there were 4 million fewer jobs in the country after a year of his presidency. Liberal critics such as economist Paul Krugman insist FDR's stimulus wasn't large enough and neither is Obama's. Conservatives believe Obama's policies are wrong, and what works are across-the-board individual and corporate tax cuts. Either way, Obama comes up short. For Obama, the most brutal disparity between him and FDR is likely to come in November. After the Democratic landslide of 1932, Democrats won still more seats in Congress in 1934. In this year's midterm congressional elections, that's an outcome Obama can only dream about. Fred Barnes is executive editor of The Weekly Standard.

Species Authority: | Miller, 1910 | |||
Common Name(s):
Synonym(s): |
Crocidura parvacauda Taylor, 1934
Taxonomic Notes: | There is a need for more taxonomic research on this species (L. Heaney pers. comm.). |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 | ||||||
Year Published: | 2008 | ||||||
Date Assessed: | 2008-06-30 | ||||||

Reviewer(s): | Amori, G. (Small Nonvolant Mammal Red List Authority) & Stuart, S.N. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) | ||||||
Justification: This species is listed as Least Concern because it is reasonably widespread, occurring on several islands in Greater Mindanao, and the higher elevation populations are relatively stable. The lowland populations have undergone a significant past reduction due to deforestation, but these reductions are not at a rate to qualify the species for listing in a threat category. |
History: |
Range Description: | This species is endemic to the Philippines where it occurs widely in the Mindanao faunal region and on Camiguin. It has also been recorded from Biliran, Bohol, Camiguin, Leyte, Maripipi, and Mindanao (Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga provinces) (Heaney and Ruedi 1994; Heaney et al. 1998). Its elevation range is 0-2,600 m. |

Population: | This species is widespread and locally abundant, generally found in most areas on Mindanao (L. Heaney pers. comm.). It is most common at mid-elevations, and somewhat less common at higher and lower elevations. |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | The species occurs in primary forest, secondary forest and scrubby secondary growth, although uncommon in the latter two habitats. It appears to be tolerant of a certain level of disturbance, although it does not occur outside of forested habitats (Heaney et al. 1989; Rickart et al. 1993; Heaney et al. 1998). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | Locally, the species is threatened by deforestation, especially for agriculture, timber and human settlements. Although there was significant deforestation in the past, there has been less deforestation above 1,500 m asl, and current populations are probably stable at higher elevations. |
Conservation Actions: | The species occurs in Mount Kitanglang National Park (Heaney et al. 2006). |

Wolves in Great Britain
Wolves were once present in Great Britain. Early writing from Roman and later Saxon chronicles indicate that wolves appear to have been extraordinarily numerous on the island.[1] Unlike other British animals, wolves were unaffected by island dwarfism,[2] with certain skeletal remains indicating that they may have grown as large as Arctic wolves.[3] The species, which was a threat to livestock, human life and frequently desecrated burial sites, was exterminated from Britain through a combination of deforestation and active hunting through bounty systems.
Past presence and extinction[edit]
England and Wales[edit]
Certain historians write that in 950, King Athelstan imposed an annual tribute of 300 wolf skins on Welsh king Hywel Dda,[4] while William of Malmesbury states that Athelstan requested gold and silver, and that it was his nephew Edgar the Peaceful who gave up that fine and instead demanded a tribute of wolf skins on King Constantine of Wales. Wolves at that time were especially numerous in the districts bordering Wales, which were heavily forested.[5]
This imposition was maintained until the Norman conquest of England.[4] At the time, several criminals, rather than being put to death, would be ordered to provide a certain number of wolf tongues annually.[6] The monk Galfrid, whilst writing on the miracles of St. Cuthbert seven centuries earlier, observed that wolves were so numerous in Northumbria, that it was virtually impossible for even the richest flock-masters to protect their sheep, despite employing many men for the job. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that the month of January was known as "Wolf manoth", as this was the first full month of wolf hunting by the nobility. Officially, this hunting season would end on March 25, thus it encompassed the cubbing season when wolves were at their most vulnerable, and their fur was of greater quality.[1]
The Norman kings (reigning from 1066 to 1154) employed servants as wolf hunters and many held lands granted on condition they fulfilled this duty. William the Conqueror granted the lordship of Riddesdale in Northumberland to Robert de Umfraville on condition that he defend that land from enemies and wolves.[6] There were no restrictions or penalties in the hunting of wolves, except in royal game reserves, under the reasoning that the temptation for a commoner to shoot a deer there was too great.[7]
English wolves were more often trapped than hunted. Indeed, the Wolfhunt family, who resided in Peak forest in the 13th century, would march into the forest in March and December, and place pitch in the areas wolves frequented. At that time of year, wolves would have had greater difficulty in smelling the pitch than in others. During the dry summers, they would enter the forest to destroy cubs.[5] Gerald of Wales wrote of how wolves in Holywell ate the corpses resulting from Henry II's punitive expedition to Wales in 1165.[1]
King John gave a premium of 10 shillings for the capture of two wolves.[6] King Edward I, who reigned from 1272 to 1307, ordered the total extermination of all wolves in his kingdom and personally employed one Peter Corbet, with instructions to destroy wolves in the counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Staffordshire, areas near the Welsh Marches where wolves were more common than in the southern areas of England.[8]
In the forty-third year of Edward III's rule, a Thomas Engaine held lands in Pytchley in the county of Northampton, on the condition that he find special hunting dogs to kill wolves in the counties of Northampton, Rutland, Oxford, Essex and Buckingham. In the eleventh year of Henry VI's reign (1433), a Sir Robert Plumpton held a bovate of land called "Wolf hunt land" in Nottingham, by service of winding a horn and chasing or frightening the wolves in Sherwood forest. The wolf is generally thought to have become extinct in England during the reign of Henry VII (1485–1509), or at least very rare. By this time, wolves became limited to the Lancashire forests of Blackburnshire and Bowland, the wilder parts of the Derbyshire Peak, and the Yorkshire Wolds. Indeed, wolf bounties were still maintained in the East Riding until the early 19th century.[5]
In Scotland, during the reign of James VI, wolves were considered such a threat to travellers that special houses called spittals were erected on the highways for protection.[9] In Sutherland, wolves dug up graves so frequently that the inhabitants of Eddrachillis resorted to burying their dead on the island of Handa, Scotland.[1]
- On Ederachillis' shore
- The grey wolf lies in wait-
- Woe to the broken door,
- Woe to the loosened gate,
- And the groping wretch whom sleety fogs
- On the trackless moor belate.
- The lean and hungry wolf,
- With his fangs so sharp and white,
- His starveling body pinched
- By the frost of a northern night,
- And his pitiless eyes that scare the dark
- With their green and threatening light.
- He climeth the guarding dyke,
- He leapeth the hurdle bars,
- He steals the sheep from the pen,
- And the fish from the boat-house spars,
- And the digs the dead from out of the sod,
- And gnaws them under the stars.
- Thus every grave we dug
- The hungry wolf uptore,
- And every morn the sod
- Was strewn with bones and gore:
- Our mother-earth had denied us rest
- On Ederchaillis' shore
—The Book of Highland Minstrelsy, 1846
Island burial was a practice also adopted on Tanera Mòr and on Inishail, while in Atholl, coffins were made wolf proof by building them out of five flagstones. Wolves likely became extinct in the Scottish Lowlands during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, when immense tracts of forest were cleared.[1] James I passed a law in 1427 requiring 3 wolf hunts a year between 25 April and 1 August, coinciding with the wolf's cubbing season.[4] Scottish wolf populations reached a peak during the second half of the 16th century. Mary, Queen of Scots, is known to have hunted wolves in the forest of Atholl in 1563.[4]
The wolves later caused such damage to the cattle herds of Sutherland that in 1577 James VI made it compulsory to hunt wolves three times a year.[1] Stories on the killing of the alleged last wolf of Scotland vary. Official records indicate that the last Scottish wolf was killed by Sir Ewen Cameron in 1680 in Killiecrankie (Perthshire).[1][10] There are reports that wolves survived in Scotland up until the 18th century and[8] a tale also exists of one being seen as late as 1888.[11]
Folklore and literature[edit]
In the Welsh tale of Gelert, Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd, killed his faithful dog Gelert after finding him covered in blood which he presumed belonged to his baby son. Only later does he discover that his son is still alive, and that the blood belonged to a wolf which Gelert killed in defence of the young prince. In Welsh mythology, both St. Ciwa the "Wolf Girl" and Bairre (an ancestor of Amergin Glúingel) were said to have been suckled by wolves.[12]
Scottish folklore tells of how an old man named MacQueen of Findhorn in Morayshire killed the last wolf in 1743.[8] The past presence of wolves in Scotland is attested in Shakespeare's Macbeth:
- now witchcraft celebrates
- Pale Hecate's offerings; and wither'd murder,
- Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,
- Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace,
- With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design
- Moves like a ghost.
—Macbeth Act 2 Scene 1
Fossil finds[edit]
Wolf remains in the Kirkdale Cave were noted to be scanty when compared with the prominence of cave hyena bones. Cuvier later pointed out that the number of wolf bones in Kirkdale were even fewer than originally thought, as a lot of teeth first referred to belong to wolves turned out to be those of juvenile hyenas. The few positively identified wolf remains were thought to have been transported to the cave system by hyenas for consumption. William Buckland, in his Reliquiae Diluvianae, wrote that he only found one molar tooth which could be positively identified as being that of a wolf, while other bone fragments were indistinguishable from those of domestic dogs.[3]
In the Paviland limestone caves of the Gower Peninsula in south Wales, the jaw, heel-bone and several metatarsals were found of a large canid, though it was impossible to definitively prove that they belonged to a wolf rather than a large dog.[3]
In a series of caves discovered in a quarry in Oreston, Plymouth, a Mr. Whidbey found several bones and teeth of a species of canis indistinguishable from modern wolves. Richard Owen examined a jaw bone excavated from Oreston, which he remarked was from a subadult animal with evidence of having been enlarged by exotosis and ulceration, probably due to a fight with another wolf. The other bones showed evidence of having been gnawed by small animals, and many were further damaged by workmen in their efforts to extricate them from the clay. Unlike the Kirkdale wolves, the Oreston remains showed no evidence of having been gnawed on by hyenas.[3]
An almost entire skull with missing teeth was discovered in Kents Cavern by a Mr. Mac Enery. The skull was exactly equal in size to that of an Arctic wolf, the only notable differences being that the sectorial molar was slightly larger and the lower border of the jaw was more convex. It was positively identified as being that of a wolf by its low and contracted forehead.[3]
Reintroduction to Scotland and England[edit]
In 1999, Dr. Martyn Gorman, senior lecturer in zoology at Aberdeen University and vice chairman of the UK Mammal Society called for a reintroduction of wolves to the Scottish Highlands and English countryside in order to deal with the then 350,000 red deer damaging young trees in commercial forests. Scottish National Heritage considered re-establishing carefully controlled colonies of wolves, but shelved the idea following an outcry from sheep farmers.[13]
In 2002, Paul van Vlissingen, a wealthy landowner at Letterewe, Achnasheen, Ross-shire, in the Western Highlands, proposed the reintroduction of both wolves and lynxes to Scotland and England stating that current deer culling methods were inadequate, and that wolves would boost the Scottish tourist industry.[14]
In 2007, British and Norwegian researchers which included experts from the Imperial College London said that wolf reintroduction into the Scottish Highlands and English countryside would aid the re-establishment of plants and birds currently hampered by the deer population. The study also assessed people's attitudes towards the idea of releasing wolves into the wild. While the public were generally positive, people living in rural areas were more sensitive, though they were open to the idea provided they would be reimbursed for livestock losses.[15]
Richard Morley, of the Wolves and Humans Foundation (formerly The Wolf Society of Great Britain), forecast in 2007 that public support for wolf reintroduction would grow over the next 15 years, though he criticised previous talks as being too "simple or romantic". He stated that although wolves would be good for tourism, farmers and crofters have serious concerns about the effect wolves could have on their livestock, particularly sheep, that have to be acknowledged.[16]

Consider, if the material you have is like Formica (a thin flexible sheet, like 1/16" actually made of layers of paper embedded in resin) and not Corian (a thick and totally inflexible synthetic stone) then you may be able to just repair the damage--without any screws.
Formica and similar materials are just glued down with a contact adhesive. Traditionally the mustard yellow kind although there are good water-based white ones available now as well. If you can clean out that delaminated area and then apply a contact adhesive to both surfaces, once you set it back down (and clamp or weight it) it should set up perfectly, good as new.
Epoxy or urethane adhesives would also do, but contact cement is way cheaper and designed for this job.
"Tile ?????? There is no way to 'seal' the grout, " Yeah, actually there is. Tiled kitchens have to pass health department and USDA standards all the time. You start by using an "epoxy grout" which is epoxy-fortified similar to the way that resin impregnates fiberglass. And an "unsanded wall grout" rather than a floor grout, which contains sand to provide strength when it is walked on--but won't set as tight.
Then there are surface sealers which also help. Regular countertop cleaning is all it needs after that. But for tile on a boat...Geez, Mick, this isn't gonna wind up on HGTV as a frilly boat show, is it? :-)
$2 for the contact cement, some scraping, a weight overnight, good as new.

Carnival Magic Cruise Review by notdaboss: Carnival Magic Feb 2/12

Compare Prices on Carnival Magic Western Caribbean Cruises
Carnival Magic Feb 2/12
This was our first cruise and we had a great time. The ship was beautiful as was our Cloud 9 spa balcony room. Very pleased with our room accommodations and the spa facilities. We really enjoyed meeting other cruise veterans who were happy to how us the ropes and make recommendations about shore excursions and future cruises, I think we have the fever...
Montego Bay was not a pleasant experience from the high pressure at all of the choke points however all of the pricing for everything was very reasonable and Doctors Cave Beach is a great beach and an inexpensive cab ride from port.
Grand Cayman was well, just spectacular! I highly recommend the para sailing with Blue Water Beach para sailing. Very safe and a fun bunch of guys. They give you the option of dropping you on 7 mile beach or taking you back to port. We opted for the beach and they came back in a couple of hours and took us back to port. They also took about 60 pics of the wife and I for 25.00, who can More
beat that. Great beach, excursion, and nice people. Look forward to the next Cayman trip.
Cozumel also beautiful and although there is pressure to buy everything a kind "no" suffices and if you do find something you want the bartering is fun and the merchants are fair and reasonable. I highly recommend the Sea Trek helmet diving excursion, don't miss this one. There's a great little flea market just down the street from the dive site too.
Food on the ship was more than adequate as was the service. Request the southern lights dining room and you're in for a treat with the singing maitre de Ken, outstanding. He will be moving to the Breeze in June. Tandoor Indian and the Italian food restaurant are exceptional. The Prime Steakhouse was also very good but we really enjoyed the Italian food. Less

Question about Multiple Apple TV's
So I have 3 Apple TV's. It's amazing to be able to stream music from the cloud (iTunes match) to my bedroom upstairs, living room or basement and control everything right through my iPhone. BUT...
Is there a way to be able to stream the same thing to MULTIPLE apple tv's at the same time? Say I want the same music playing in the living room and basement? Thanks in advance.

As long as your using a PC/Mac (and not an iPhone, etc) you should be able to select multiple sources (and have them all active for audio at the same time)
In the airplay option in iTunes you'll see a options at the top for "single" or "multiple" (you can even set the volume per device as well!) |

as rivettmj said, itunes on a computer will stream to multiple devices at once.
if you want audio from something besides iTunes, you can get airfoil. it will let you pick any one program (or whole system audio) and stream it to any combination of the airplay devices on your network. it doesn't work well for video though, as there is about a 2 second delay in audio only airplay due to buffering, so the video on your screen and the audio in the speakers will be out of sync. (apple gets around this in most of their programs by delaying the video to match) another thing you can do with airfoil, they have a companion app called "airfoil speakers" you can use that as a destination for your iphone audio. and the from there use airfoil to send to multiple devices, you will have about a 4 second delay though. i have 2 airplay speakers, an airport express with speakers hooked up, and a home theatre AV receiver with airplay. I regularly stream to all 4 of them, from both iTunes and airfoil (mostly use it for pandora) with no issues. |

Thanks for the suggestions! Streaming directly from my Macbook to multiple devices is great (I didn't know you could do this).
BUT Do any of you use iTunes Match? Part of the reason I love it is because I do not have to have my laptop even on to stream my music collection from my apple TV's, I can stream it all from the cloud by selecting what song I want through the remote app (not through the music app streaming airplay). I find doing it all through the remote app sounds better than streaming using airplay in the music (or "iPod") app. Anyone been able to do this to multiple ATV's? Thanks again.

With Start of Football Season, Comes Police Crackdown on Drunk Driving
ALACHUA COUNTY - With the Labor Day holiday and the Gator's big season opener squeezed into one weekend, there was definitely cause for North Central residents to spend the past three days celebrating.
But police know that sometimes those celebrations don't end when people leave the party.
So in order to keep the roadways safe, GPD officers say they are cracking down hard, beginning with Labor Day weekend and following through to the rest of football season.
"As we progress in the SEC games and the higher-hyped games, you see more people drinking," Sgt. Joe Raulerson said. "We have to counter that with more officers on the road to get more drunk drivers off the road."
Raulerson encourages drivers to find a safe way home and be aware of police presence during the national "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign.
Accidents caused by drivers driving under the influence kills about 11,000 people each year, according to the campaign.
Officrs told TV 20 that drivers should

I was pleasantly surprised by the new B&S. The karaoke nights are packed and much fun. Strippers are very friendly and the bartenders are very attentive and efficient. Crowd is mixed age but upbeat. I have taken straight friends there and keep coming back. Well managed and it shows.

I absolutely love this bar-- come during happy hour (Monday through Friday 3-9pm) and you'll find cheap drinks served by cute boys. Stay after happy hour and, well... at least there's still cute boys. But seriously, this bar is the one to go to in Greenwich.

Customer reviews
By Vanessa Smith 06 Feb 2014
We already had an older copy of this wonderful book, so I ordered another as a gift for a friend. Although it is still a fantastic book (like all the books in this series, it is a cool book for young kids to enjoy the feel of different textures and learn sentence structures. In this series, the sentence structures are repeated, just the nouns and adjectives change, which is great for language learning), I did notice that a lot of the illustrations are now pinker!! The mermaid's 'scaly tail' has gone from a shimmery blue-green to metallic pink and several other illustrations have had other colours swapped for pink. That was disappointing. Still love the book.
Review quote
'That's Not My Mermaid by F Watts and R Wells is another addition to the successful Touchy-Feely series of board books. It follows the familiar format of a child looking for something - in this case, a mermaid! With lots of bright, clear illustrations and tactile and reflective materials for young fingers to explore, this book is sure to become a firm favourite of the young book lover' - Nursery Education Plus; 'A valuable and enjoyable learning tool' - Junior Parenting Magazine; 'A classic series and definitely one of our favourites' - Tesco Books Blog; 'The brilliantly simple concept is a winner with very young children, trusted by parents and still one of the best baby series on the market' - The Bookseller

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"This is a wonderfully creamy frosting that goes well with pumpkin bread, carrot cake, chocolate cake, on cookies, or between cookies. If you want chocolate frosting, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup cocoa, according to how rich you want it."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
very easy to make very nice flavor. It went very well with my chocolate cup cakes. I will use this again.
Very easy. Went on the cake very smooth. A little too sweet for me. May try again with less sugar.
5 Ratings
My first cream cheese frosting attempt. Easy and delicious. I do think it was a bit sweet (probably because in the adjustment from the original the sugar was not halved like the other ingredients). Fully covered "Sam's Famous Carrot Cake" with a little left over. Will make again-and-again.
I used a bit less sugar and this was perfect !
Great frosting! I did use 6TBS of butter instead, but it came out awesome. Thick and rich tasting. I just wanted to eat it straight from the bowl! I used this to frost the Pumpkin Sheet Cake from this site and had more than plenty, with a little left over even.

- 1800:
Iowa Event
Basil Giard Buys Land Near Present Marquette
Basil Giard received a land grant from the Spanish government for a tract of land near the present town of Marquette. Giard's land claim was where the town of Marquette was later built, and was mostly for fur trading purposes.

Iowa Event
France Reclaims Future Iowa Land
Claims to land that would become Iowa were transferred from Spain to France. During the Napoleonic wars in Europe, Spain became a satellite of France, and the Mississippi River area was transferred back to France under pressure from Napoleon. Spain had exerted very little control or contact with the area north of St. Louis.

Iowa's Landscape
In the early 1800s almost 19 percent of Iowa's land was covered in forest. Seventy percent was prairie. Eleven percent was wetlands.

Iowa Event
Louisiana Purchase
France sells Louisiana Territory, including land that will become Iowa, to United States. President Thomas Jefferson wished to purchase trading rights at New Orleans so that American products would have free navigation of the Mississippi River to ocean-going ships. When the opportunity arose to purchase the whole tract of land, he took advantage of it, but not without opposition from Congress and other people who felt that it was unconstitutional to add territory to the United States. Jefferson established a precedent with the Louisiana Purchase which led to later acquisition of other land which was added to the United States.
- 1803:
Iowa Event
Iowa Becomes Part of Upper District of Louisiana
Iowa becomes part of Upper District of Louisiana with the capital at St. Louis. For administration, the Louisiana Purchase was divided into the Upper and Lower Districts of Louisiana, with capitals at St. Louis and New Orleans respectively. This was mostly a paper transaction, because there were no legal permanent residents in the area except Native American Indians, and this administration did not apply to them.

Iowa Event
Sac Indians Give Up Iowa Land
Members of the Sauk tribe signed over tribal lands to the U.S. government. These tribe members were not tribal leaders and not authorized to do this. This treaty should have had no legal standing, but the United States government later based land claims on it. The land became the state of Iowa. This is also the beginning of the U.S. government's mistake in referring to the "Sac and Fox" as one tribe, even though the Sauk were a distinct tribe and the other tribe is properly called Mesquakie, not Fox.

Iowa Event
Sergeant Charles Floyd Dies
Sergeant Floyd died of appendicitis while camped just south of present Sioux City. He was buried there, and later a tall obelisk was constructed and designated a National Historic Landmark. He is the first white American known to have been buried in what would become Iowa, and he is the only soldier to die on the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Iowa Event
Lewis and Clark Cross Iowa
Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark crossed Iowa on their expedition to explore Louisiana Territory. The Lewis and Clark explorations were to make contact with the Native American Indians, chart flora and fauna, and investigate the economic resources. The party went up the Missouri River in 1804, camping on the "Iowa" side of the river several times. They held a council with the Indians on the west side of the river, providing the source of the name for the city of Council Bluffs.

Iowa Event
Pike Explores Upper Mississippi River Valley
Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike's expedition was ordered to investigate the Mississippi River above St. Louis, noting especially the rivers, prairies, islands, mines, quarries, timber, and Indian villages and settlements. He also designated two sites for future forts, but no fort was built in either place. He designated what is now Crapo Park in Burlington, and what is now Pike's Peak State Park near McGregor. Pike later explored in the Rocky Mountain west where a peak in Colorado is named for him.

Iowa Becomes Part of Territory of Louisiana
The upper Mississippi valley, including the land that would become Iowa, was named the Territory of Louisiana with its capital at St. Louis. As a part of this designation, the Spanish land grants to Dubuque, Tesson, and Giard were confirmed.

Fort Madison Constructed
Fort Bellevue (later called Fort Madison) was constructed in what became Lee County. Fort Madison was the first federal facility to be built in Iowa. When Fort Madison was constructed the army officer in charge used poor judgment in selecting its location. The fort had the Mississippi River on one side, a high bluff on another side, and a ravine on a third side. It would be very difficult to defend.

SON1C Wax Phoenix
93rd time is the charm!
SON1C Wax Phoenix represents years of strenuous research and development by car wax enthusiast Drew Elias. When Drew set out to formulate a successor to the beloved SON1C Wax Carnaubavore, he faced a long road filled with challenges. After countless reformulations Drew�s latest creation was born � SON1C Wax Phoenix. SON1C Wax Phoenix is such a radical departure from Carnaubavore that drew decided to offer both waxes as they each provide a unique look.
If you liked Drew�s first production wax � Carnaubavore � you�ll love Phoenix. Drew sent over 300 samples (labeled protowax 93) around the world for testing purposes.
After meticulously analyzing the feedback provided by detailers and car care enthusiasts located in various regions, Drew fine-tuned protowax 93 and Phoenix was born.
SON1C Wax Phoenix utilizes the finest all-natural ingredients available in a paste wax, including several natural waxes, natural oils including sunflower oil, and durable polymers.
SON1C Wax Phoenix is a soft paste wax with a buttery smooth texture and an invigorating tropical aroma.
SON1C Wax Phoenix can be applied in direct sunlight, even on black paint! SON1C Wax Phoenix creates crisp, clear reflections by enhancing your clear coat, maximizing the gloss and color. SON1C Wax Phoenix really excels on metallic paint.
SON1C Wax Phoenix is designed to be applied thin, thin, thin! A single jar is enough wax for up to 50 applications, making Phoenix one of the best values in car care.
Each jar is crafted by hand, from pouring to labeling!
The handcrafted, hand-poured SON1C Wax Phoenix formula is manufactured in limited quantities in Virginia, USA. Supplies are limited.

The Simpsons Road Rage
- Publisher: Electronic Arts
- Release Date: Dec 17, 2001
- Also On: PlayStation 2
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Load time can be as slow as Homer's wit, but that's small beans when Road Rage is one of the wildest – and funniest – rides around. [Jan 2002, p.126]
Though a little short on gameplay depth, Road Rage is worth repeated play because of the show-lifted locations and both original and reused character quotes. [Mar 2002, p.81]
We know that The Simpsons Road Rage is neither original nor groundbreaking but it is enormous fun and that's what important, isn't it.
If you've already purchased "Crazy Taxi" then there's little here to tempt you into buying what is essentially the same product unless, of course, you're a huge Simpsons fan.
Clearly designed by people who by-God know their Simpsons minutiae...An excellent-looking, perfect-sounding, perfectly-playable arcade game, albeit one of many missed opportunities.
Just plain fun.
The game is not there for the amusement or entertainment of the general public - it's a special, silly game reserved for true aficionados of the Simpsons. Count us in.
What's missing is Crazy Taxi's sense of breakneck speed, as well as its more clever map design.
If you've played "Crazy Taxi" before leave Road Rage on the shelf, everyone else who isn't a Simpsons fan, should invest their money in something else because there is really only lasting appeal for the fans and even then it's cutting it close.
A weekend may be enough for most, as the flaws of unimpressive graphics, brief-lived audio humor and questionable control are substantial.
What makes this game rise above its humble beginnings are the tons of unlockable characters and the six different environments.
While it's better than the poor GameCube port of the original "Crazy Taxi," ultimately, the only saving grace Road Rage has is that it's a Simpsons game.
The Simpsons Road Rage is fun for short stretches of time, but it's a definite rent-first title.
While it may sound fun, the play control and physics in the game are rather loose, resulting in unresponsive vehicle controls and collision detection that has you occasionally hitting objects you aren't even touching as you drive.
For awhile, Road Rage delivers a funny, though not particularly original racing experience. But just as the one-liners quickly run dry, so does a compelling reason to keep playing the me-too racer.
You'll still have to deal with irritating load times and janky collision detection problems (it's easy to get your car stuck on objects and buildings). [Mar 2002, p.141]
